-
- no, don't go on. i don't see how carl's personality is an appropriate topic
- for this newsgroup.
-
- >Carl... if you feel the need to cuss someone out... do it via private
- >e-mail.... I'm *sure* you know how.... and keep the list for what it's for.....
- >solving problems... like *YOU THINK* that you do so well.....
-
- physician, heal thyself. you already mailed carl and he did not accept your
- advice, so what on earth do you think you're going to accomplish by posting it?
- you seem to be grandstanding.
-
- >This list could be a real asset to those subscribed... but *YOU* make it much
- >less.. when you flame.... in some kind of a twisted attempt to stroke your ego.
-
- no, he makes it a _little_ bit less when he flames.
- and when he answers a question --- which is > 99% of his posts ---
- he makes it a much greater asset, especially since he answers
- frequently and with a high degree of accuracy.
-
- >or better yet... if your *SO* smart... you don't need this list....
- >so just drop out... and leave us to our (in your opinion)
- >easy insignificant problems.....
-
- however insulting he might be, carl is at least attempting to get people
- to post intelligent questions because carl ANSWERS INTELLIGENT QUESTIONS.
- carl HELPS PEOPLE WHO CAN BE HELPED. carl does not hold hands.
- carl, who for all i know could be a serial killer who cross-dresses when
- he deliberately parks in handicapped spaces, is one of the most helpful
- and intelligent (a rare combination) members of comp.os.vms i have seen
- in the last fourteen months. carl has assisted many people in this group;
- i have seen very few articles by mark montanez. also, carl is a good speller.
-
- >Carl... find a good tharapist!!! Maybe there is a reason that you felt the need
- >to respond/defend yourself to the *BUTHEAD* post... that wasn't addressed to
- >anyone!!!
-
- carl will ignore this. carl will not let posts such as this affect his
- presence on the net. carl has a very secure personality as well as a real life.
- of course, carl might be getting tired of being referred to in the third person.
-
- >I know, I know... I'm doing exactly what I asked him not to do.... But maybe
- >Carl needs to be reminded that this is *OUR* list not his private question -
- >answer and *BITCH* session.... and maybe a post to the list will get enough
- >traffic/response to do to Carl just what he does to others.
-
- ooooooh, this is MARK's list, not carl's? did i miss the CFV which elected
- you King of comp.os.vms and the Attitude Arbitrator?
-
- look, just ignore him if you don't like him. i have learned a lot from him,
- and simply disregarded any personal comments.
-
- >I've donned my full body flame retardant suit...
-
- you'd be better off picking up a dictionary, grandstander.
- also a style guide, since very few english sentences should end with ellipses.
-
- ok
